EMMA VARGA
"From the Garden"
A solo exhibition of new works by Emma Varga
4th March to 4th April 2010
Emma has been living and working in Australia since 1995. Her studio overlooks Sydney’s Northern Beaches and is only 100 metres from the Pacific Ocean. Much of Emma’s influences come from the Australian landscape and she uses particular colours to reflect the experience of milestones in her life, and her works are actually tangible reminders of important events.
Her technique involves multiple layers fusing which enable Emma to create and gain control over three dimensional images inside large transparent glass objects.
It takes two weeks to fire and slowly cool down large sculptural works then a further two weeks to grind and polish all of the surfaces to perfection - it is only then is it possible to see inside: all of the fine details and veil like structures floating in the sea of clear glass.
